SEL What is it? -Track, identify, teach, monitor-
What is SEL? Social Emotional Learning….. Over the last 30 years, a large body of work has shown that children who are skilled at recognizing feelings, dealing with conflict, and exercising self-control are more likely than peers to succeed in school and to do well in life. And educators are paying increasing attention to social-emotional skill building. (https://www.gse.harvard.edu/news/uk/15/08/kernels-learning)
